About the Team

The Intelligent Operations Engineering (IOE) team drives enterprise-wide observability, reliability, and operational maturity. We partner with application, platform, and SRE teams to enable business-focused observability, improve system resilience, and accelerate adoption of modern reliability practices while leveraging Dynatrace in a hybrid cloud environment.

This role contributes to shaping the future direction of the team’s observability and reliability practices, helping ensure they scale with modern architectures, cloud adoption, and evolving customer expectations. The work is hands-on and collaborative, with a strong focus on practical outcomes rather than theory.

In this role, you will work alongside experienced SREs, platform engineers, and application teams to improve how services are instrumented and understood in production. You’ll help guide decisions around observability patterns, tooling usage, and reliability practices based on real-world experience and feedback from teams operating critical systems.
